ARTIST8 a new platform from ART, in the heart of the Pininfarina demonstrator
Infotainment has officially become a part of interior design: Pininfarina and ART have launched a joint, co-branded effort with the purpose of showing what experience users could expect to find in cars of the near future.
In Pininfarina’s vision, the car will interact with passengers in an intuitive and natural way; it will be capable of perceiving the surrounding environment and will display the most important and critical information to the driver, so as to make the driver aware of what is happening. The
system will also be capable of partially or entirely taking over control from the driver and allowing for time to relax with new personalised and immersive vehicle systems.
ART has contributed to shape this vision: in the heart of the demonstrator we find ARTIST 8, the new platform from ART, available beginning in 2021. ARTIST8 offers flexibility and freedom in the management of vehicle systems that are in close contact with the driver or passengers, such as infotainment and instrumentation.
Thanks to ARTIST8, all these systems become part of a single electronic cockpit (e-cockpit).
The option to control up to 4 high resolution displays allows for a highly integrated user experience, capable of sharing information and moving content between systems that are usually born as separate entities.
Centralising of functionality in a single system also allows for reduction of the number of control units on the vehicle, reducing weight and cost, as well as usage of space.
Technologies selected by ART to build ARTIST8 allow for the development of this content while respecting the norms of functional safety and cybersecurity required by the automotive industry.
Finally, the platform is provided with a framework software that allows all
principal functionalities of modern infotainment systems and instrumentation straight out of the box.
ARTIST8 therefore is configured as an industrial product with an extremely high level of personalisation, which allows car manufacturers to concentrate on those elements that differentiate them from others, while also allowing for an added value towards their customers, without wasting time and resources in an attempt to “reinvent the wheel.”

MATE: GUARANTEED QUALITY WITH ISO/IEC 17025:2017 COMPLIANCE
Last June, MATE was recognised for having achieved compliance with the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for vibration and shock testing.
Mate, a company of ART group, has grown very much in the past four years. Stefano Marchetti, the company’s managing director, knows this well and has made fundamental contributions towards the company affirming itself as a “small but big” rising star born between Umbria and Tuscany; a company and a team which distinguish themselves not only for technical
know how but also for problem solving ability, as well as organisational skills and order, which are all fundamental aspects in the field of testing and technical trials.
As a crowning moment for the growth of the company, Accredia – the Italian entity for accreditation- accredited Mate as an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 compliant laboratory for vibration and shock testing. This enables the company to offer clients an extremely high level of quality both
during the testing process as well as in the accuracy of the values that result from testing, guaranteeing maximum reliability even at the international level. Specifically, compliance with the standard indicates that the measurement of uncertainty specific to a laboratory for a certain test be contained within the values required by the method of testing. In MATE’s case, for instance, 10% on the value of acceleration.
As we all know, however, exams never end in life! In six months Accredia will evaluate MATE again. Meanwhile, the company is assessing how to reinforce the structure dedicated to this kind of activity, while the number of certified tests will be enhanced, as next year accreditation for Climate testing is expected.
MATE therefore becomes a complementary asset towards the verticalization of ART, an accredited testing laboratory at the service of clients from two markets especially: automotive and aerospace, where certifications of this kind are fundamental towards the recognition of high
quality work.

ART and Anna Anchino at the National AIDP Congress
On June 7th and 8th the National AIDP Congress took place in Assisi. AIDP – which stands for Italian association for the management of personnel – has allowed for many companies and representatives from both the industrial and academic worlds to discuss artificial intelligence and its value in HR management.
Anna Anchino, director of HR, represented our company and had the honour to participate as part of the AIPD AWARD commission, while also giving a speech on the importance of people in an innovative company like ART.
“ART and I grew up together”, she tells us, “I have lived with this company since the beginning, witnessing its evolution into the ART we know today: a company in constant growth , that was able to swell from just 3 people to the almost 200 people that work here now. Such significant growth has required particular effort also from the standpoint of HR management. It is not just by chance that we hold fifteen interviews per week: this number goes to show how very many people have shared the vision of ART in the past eighteen years. Participating in this congress is yet another demonstration of all this, since my speech was entirely dedicated to the way ART interprets relationships with the people who help the company grow.”
Anna also underlines how “the AIDP congress is the most important people management event in Italy. This year the AIDP prize was awarded to a robotics project focused on education, with work groups integrated within schools. This relationship between schools and companies is also fundamental to ART in its vision, so much so that AIDP organised a Master class for HR management, specifically on the partnership between industry and schools, right here in our headquarters of Pischiello.”
Art cultivates artificial intelligence with a human face, a humanism of work, a philosophy which was well received by Capital magazine, which mentioned ART and Anna Anchino in a recent article on the management of human resources in Italy.

IT and a new challenge for ART…TISAX compliance!
IT managers Francesco Doricchi and Andrea Passerini tell us their story, beginning with the successful achievement of TISAX compliance.
“When IT is working well the worker should not even be alerted to its presence. The less one is visible, the better the job is being done.” This is how the two people responsible describe the fundamental yet discreet role of IT in a company.
There have been many necessities that they have had to cope with, such as keeping the entire company’s IT department on par with the unstoppable evolution of the global digital ecosystem – “an even more important task in a highly innovative company like ART” Francesco tells us, “but not impossible also thanks to the company’s availability towards investing in IT, an example of open mindedness that should not be taken for granted in a region like Umbria.”
Suffice it to say that “our latest challenge has been certifying ART as TISAX compliant (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange), which is a certification required by VDS (Verband del Autobilindustrie), without which it is basically impossible to receive orders from automotive high-end producers. “The challenge” says Andrea, “was achieving this result in three months, whereas it usually takes one whole year: it has been a commitment that has required professionalism as well as the development and acquisition of a specific know-how of both IT measures as well as information security and also the management of access specific areas limited by predetermined security levels.”
The TISAX model which ART has implemented, both as a physical IT infrastructure as well as an organisational process, guarantees that information and data exchanged with clients are always available and protected by the most advanced IT security systems.
Technological advance in ART is represented by a new hyper convergent structure that has the ability to rapidly adapt to change and guarantee data security and the security of the business community.
“We are both from Umbria and for us being able to work in Passignano has been a big plus, as has been the awareness of being immersed in nature, which allows you to begin your day in the best of ways and achieve a good balance between work and life. Professional challenges and personal equilibrium are both undoubtedly the reasons why we chose ART.”
“Where do I see myself in five years?” says Andrea, “never say never, but this is the first environment in which I truly feel part of the group also thanks to the very inclusive way the company has of dealing with people. An employee is not merely a worker but a person and an excellence. We are all excellences here and the company recognizes that!”

EIGHTY IS NOT ENOUGH
SAVE THE DATE 17 & 18 June
EIGHTY IS NOT ENOUGH
Eighty years hasn’t been enough to realise all of my dreams, but I will give everything to do so in the coming years, because “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” and I certainly don’t intend to fly away.
For the location of this meeting I have chosen Il Pischiello, which is the headquarters of our company, ART, and the cradle and home of my project, in the heart of my Umbria, a link between history and the future.
I would like to invite you to celebrate this milestone with me on 17th and 18th June, and to share details of future projects.
Kind regards,
Giancarlo Luigetti
